Let’s get right into it.
Easy ways white people can and should be trolling the government right now:
Annoy them
- Pick a corrupt government agency each day, and sign them up for a bunch of liberal newsletters. Works for any police department, court, or individual representative of your choosing. Especially fun if you’ve gotten a ticket of any kind recently.
- Call their offices to complain about things in your community (or in their offices) that need fixing. Let it all out. Be as detailed as possible. Take up their time. Bonus points if you show up in person.
- Write their email in bathrooms with a message to send pictures of their shit
Waste their time
- Put a flag for another country on your car
- Do they have an AI chatbot feature on their website? Hijack it.
Grey rock them
- One of the best methods for dealing with a narcissist is to grey rock them.
- Similarly, of the best ways to get back at the government is to give them as little as possible. Grey rock them. Focus instead on meeting needs within your community or social group.
- Don’t have one? Let’s fix that!
- Any time you have the ability, choose local.
Refuse
- Professionals refusing to provide services that enable corruption (accountants declining unethical clients, lawyers whistleblowing, tech workers refusing to build surveillance tools)
- Wealthy individuals funding investigative journalism, legal defense funds, or transparency organizations
- Business owners creating ethical supply chains or fair employment practices as counter-examples
Create visibility
- Artists using their platforms to highlight injustice through music, visual art, theater, or film
- Documentary filmmaking that exposes corruption
- Guerrilla art installations or projection campaigns that draw attention to specific issues
- Satire and comedy that makes corruption impossible to ignore
Strategic resource sharing
- Professionals offering pro bono work to affected communities or watchdog groups
- Creating educational resources that help people understand their rights
- Using social capital to amplify marginalized voices rather than speaking over them
Institutional pressure
- Shareholders using proxy votes to push corporations toward transparency
- Professional associations establishing ethical standards that make corruption harder
- Academic researchers documenting patterns of corruption in accessible ways
Build alternatives
- Create mutual aid networks that reduce dependence on corrupt systems
- Developing open-source tools for transparency and accountability
- Supporting independent media and information channels
